In case you're wondering, the free product key to install the Windows 8 Media Center Pack has an expiration date of January 31st, so it's no surprise that the offer also coincides with the end of Microsoft's promotion to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro for $39.99, or $14.99 for those who buy a new PC between June 2nd and January 31st, 2013.

Windows 8 Pro (package) with free Media Center keys! (NOT working anymore)
Today, Microsoft sent out an email to everyone who requested a free product key, reminding all users that they "must install the feature" by January 31. Here's the original message with the fine print:
"This is a reminder that you must activate your free Windows 8 Media Center Pack product key** by January 31, 2013."
"This promotion ends on January 31, 2013; your product key must be activated no later than February 1, 2013."
